^^+1 more. Listen to an ARCA V-6 and compare it to a Cup car's V-8. No comparison at all.

If you haven't already tried the HKS silencers, you really should before you sell it. They totally fix what HKS screwed up.

$90 which apparently is more than what others have paid for the same work.

^^ i dont get the point of this.. your going to pay close to $100 to gain maybe 1-2 hp.. and create an annoying high pitch sound at certain rpms..

Actually power gain isn't bad. Look at the tq gained from 65mph to 90mph. At least 5tq and about 2hp throughout. As for a high pitch sound, I'm not sure what you mean? I have no high pitch sounds. The only sound that I have that I wish I didn't have only occurs around 3500rpm under load. There is a type of resonance similar to a winding out E46 M3.

This is a pretty hypocritical statement. You just had yours removed!
